Reaktionsschritte

A solution of (S)-3-tert-Butoxycarbonylamino-4-methoxy-butyric acid benzyl ester (10.4 g, 32.3 mmol) in dry diethylether (70 ml) cooled to 0° C. is treated slowly with a 2.0 M solution of LiBH4 in THF (32.2 ml, 64.4 mmol). The reaction mixture is allowed to warm to ambient temperature and then left to stir. After 6 hours the reaction mixture is quenched slowly with 0.5 M aqueous solution of citric acid and extracted with ether. The ether phase is dried over magnesium sulphate and evaporated. The crude product is purified by flash silica chromatography (elution with a gradient 3:7 to 6:4 ethylacetate/hexane) to afford ((S)-3-Hydroxy-1-methoxymethyl-propyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester as a clear oil.
